Adding effects is a great way to personalize digital stories!
This stage of development is where the story takes its final form. Digital story authors can add transitions between images to enhance their impact. Sound clips, video clips, and music can make a story come to life. Titles and credits make a digital story look like a "real" movie! Creativity abounds in the effects department!
Although this stage of development is fun and exciting, it is also one that can lead a digital author astray. Make sure any editing done in this stage adds to the story's effectiveness. Effects that distract take away from the quality of the story being told. Be wary of getting lost in the limitless possibilities here! Make yourself a deadline for completion so that you don't end up editing and tweaking endlessly.
